Version 6.2.0 Details

Babel-polyfill, a crucial package for bridging the gap between modern JavaScript features and older browser environments, saw a notable update from version 6.1.19 to 6.2.0. Examining the dependencies, we find a significant shift with the replacement of "regenerator" (version ^0.8.36) by "babel-regenerator-runtime" (version ^6.2.0). This change suggests a tighter integration and potential optimization of the regenerator functionality directly within the Babel ecosystem. Both versions rely on "core-js" (version ^1.0.1) for polyfilling standard JavaScript functionalities and "babel-runtime" (version ^5.0.0) for supporting Babel's compiled output. For developers considering an upgrade, this alteration in the regenerator module is the primary point of interest. The benefits may involve improved performance or greater compatibility with Babel's transpilation process. While the overall purpose, delivering comprehensive polyfills, remains constant, such internal restructuring can influence the final bundle size and overall application efficiency. As usual, reviewing the changelog in the Babel repository will provide more detailed information on the specific reasons that drove this change and what improvements have been bundled with it. Ensure to test the update in your specific build environment to measure gains and consider any potential side effects.
